Sonepar Makes Regional Changes

Charleston, S.C.-based Sonepar has appointed Scott Jansen President West Region, effective January 1. His predecessor, Dana Mouritzen, will assume leadership of the East Region while continuing his concurrent role as COO for Sonepar USA.

Jansen has served as president of QED, a Sonepar company, since 2021. In his three decades with the company, he has played a pivotal role in driving growth and transformation. According to Sonepar, he was instrumental in the sale of QED to Sonepar in 2015 and the integration of Independent Electric Supply (IES)’s Arizona locations into QED in 2023. Jansen most recently spearheaded the expansion of QED’s logistics network with central distribution centers near Denver and Phoenix.

Noted Rob Taylor, President Sonepar Americas, “Scott brings a wealth of experience and a proven ability to navigate complexity. He executes strategic plans effectively and knows how to best support our operating companies so they can grow profitably. I’m confident the West Region will have a smooth transition under his leadership.”

Jansen will continue to lead QED while the organization conducts an internal and external search for his successor. Mouritzen, who led the West Region since 2021, will succeed former East Region President Alan Rosenfeld, who is retiring at the end of this year.
